INTENSELY PERSONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Lockheed Martin is proud to be the founding partner with Miami University

on this visionary institute, which will prepare its graduates to be leaders with

the technical knowledge and business innovation needed to address our most

difficult global challenges.

Dr. Ray O Johnson, Senior VicePresident and Chief Technology

Officer, Lockheed Martin

The keystone to the Leadership Institute is its partners. By

connecting with alumni and industry leaders, we have

created a personalized and transformational experience

for our students. The Institute will prepare our graduates for life-long career development,

no matter where their vision and lives take them.

Dr. Doug Troy, Associate Dean

Louise Morman, Executive Director

Working together with seasoned leaders from business and government, we engage engineering and applied science students in a unique and transformative learning experience that embraces interpersonal and communication skills, teamwork, self-knowledge, innovation, change management, emotional intelligence, globalization, and business acumen.

Students entering the workforce can no longer solely rely on being technically proficient and solving problems others have given them. They need the capacity to be innovative and demonstrate strong leadership skills.

Imagine the possibilities if we work with our bright undergraduates and start to plant the leadership learnings that took us decades to discover. If we expose them to the “rough and tumble” of real world experiences and help them learn about themselves and others ---

Imagine what they can accomplish!

Before the leadership institute, I thought that only certain people were cut out to be leaders and that

all leaders make huge changes in whatever they are involved with. I now understand that anyone and

everyone can be a leader. And you can do small things that lead to big changes. Leadership isn’t some sort of

magic. It’s a way of being that you can integrate and use in any part of your life.

Jessica Schmidt, student

Lockheed Martin, a true American industry leader, has chosen to partner with Miami University on such an important and

groundbreaking institute because it understands the critical need for transformational leadership and recognizes the

exceptional learning environment in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), and the outstanding caliber of our students.

The SEAS Lockheed Martin Leadership Institute provides

an extraordinary high impact, experiential learning opportunity that combines the best of engineering and computer science

education with a liberal arts foundation. It will produce leaders fully prepared for the challenges of a rapidly changing 21st century.
